Coeliac disease is a common immune-mediated inflammatory disorder caused by dietary gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. While the diagnosis of coeliac disease is based on serological and histological criteria, HLA-DQ genotyping can be useful, especially in excluding the diagnosis in patients who do not carry the relevant DQ heterodimers: DQA1*05 DQB1*02, DQB1*03:02 or DQA1*02 DQB1*02 (commonly referred to as DQ2.5, DQ8 and DQ2.2, respectively). External quality assessment results for HLA genotyping in coeliac disease have revealed concerning errors in HLA genotyping, reporting and clinical interpretation. In response, these guidelines have been developed as an evidence-based approach to guide laboratories undertaking HLA genotyping for coeliac disease and provide recommendations for reports to standardise and improve the communication of results.

Interpreting positive celiac serology in children with new-onset type 1 diabetes.

Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, & Nutrition, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Objectives: The association of celiac disease (CD) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is well-established, yet variation exists in screening practices. This study measures the accuracy of early screening with tissue transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A (TTG-IgA) and endomysial antibody (EMA) in newly diagnosed T1DM.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of children with T1DM between 2013 and 2019 with early CD screening and follow-up.
Diagnostic outcomes after gluten challenge in adult patients with unconfirmed coeliac disease already on a gluten-free diet: A 20-year retrospective cohort study.

Background: In uncertain cases of coeliac disease (CD), gluten challenge (GC) may be necessary to confirm or exclude the diagnosis. However, data on diagnostic outcomes after GC are limited.
Aims: We aimed to evaluate outcomes after GC in patients with unconfirmed CD who had already started a gluten-free diet (GFD), and identify predictors of a confirmed diagnosis.

The correlation between clinical, serological, and endoscopic findings and histological response after a gluten-free diet (GFD) is limited in adult celiac (CD) patients. This study aims to evaluate the effects of GFD on intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) localization by comparing the histopathological, clinical, serological, and endoscopic findings of adult CD patients. The patients (n = 131) were divided into three groups: those with good (CDgc) (n = 23) and poor (CDpc) (n = 21) GFD compliance and newly diagnosed ones (nCD) (n = 87).

Interleukin 6 (IL6) is an inflammatory biomarker linked to central and peripheral nervous system diseases. This study combined bioinformatics and statistical meta-analysis to explore potential associations between IL6 gene variants (rs1800795, rs1800796, and rs1800797) and neurological disorders (NDs) and brain cancer. The meta-analysis was conducted on substantial case-control datasets and revealed a significant correlation between IL6 SNPs (rs1800795 and rs1800796) with overall NDs (p-value < 0.

Autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) is a rare immune mediated disorder primarily affecting children, characterized by chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, vomiting, weight loss and villous atrophy. It has also been observed in adults presenting diagnostic and treatment challenges due to its overlap with other gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac disease. Initial diagnostic criteria for AIE include small bowel villous atrophy, lack of response to dietary restrictions, presence of anti-enterocyte antibodies, and predisposition to autoimmunity without severe immunodeficiency.
